The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: A-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Giants started one anyway for Steven Parker, 94 picks ahead of schedule.
Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it. They banked enough surplus on Ayomanor to cover a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The Rhamondre Stevenson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Bottom line, with Cam Ward leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Cam Ward
Cam Ward at Round 1, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in the 58th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 65 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the 77th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Circle this one: Kaleb Johnson at slot 89 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 4, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147
Rnd5
Elic Ayomanor
They barely believed it either: Elic Ayomanor still on the board at the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Howard Cross III
A tidy little value on Howard Cross III in pick 153, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
They reached a country mile for Quincy Riley at slot 193, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219
Rnd7
Steven Parker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Steven Parker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jalen Rivers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Rivers in the 233rd pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241
Rnd7
Gentry Williams
A wild overpay on Gentry Williams in pick No. 241, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246
Rnd7
Julian Fleming
A big swing on Julian Fleming at the 246th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
